    Supposedly the guys from Family Guy made something else since they were having so much trouble getting Family Guy back on its feet.

    Whats the name of it? Army Dad or something like that....

    Has anyone seen it? is it any good? How much has been made?

    I like it. I like it a lot. Episode 1 was great, 2 was just ok, and episode 3 was fantastic
    The whitney houston cocaine bit, the alien knocking out the two girls with the frying pan and then going "Did you see where they went?" - "Who?" - "The two black guys that did this", and the dad trying to chance down the raccoon - "Come back here and die!!!...so that you may know peace!"

    There's an overweight Roswell-style alien, and the goldfish has the brain of an East-German olympic skier. They swopped the skier's brain with a gold fish because American didn't want the East Germans getting a medal :D

    Good show, no Family Guy but nothing ever will be...

    Broadcast Season One had 7 episodes including the pilot,
    Broadcast Season Two currently has 6 with more on the way.

    It's not a "Spin-Off" by the way, you make recognise some of the voices but thats about it.

    I'm leaning towards American Dad these days. The last few episodes have been really strong, while the latest Family Guys have been pretty weak. Nothing will ever come close to the first couple seasons of FG, but AD is very very funny.

    I'm really getting to like American Dad, but the last few Family Guy episodes have been top-notch if you ask me.
